What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 20 and 185?

Answer

LCM of 20 and 185 is
740

First common multiples: 740; 1,480; 2,220; …

740 is divisible by both: 740 ÷ 20 = 37, 740 ÷ 185 = 4 — and 37 and 4 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/20 by 37 and of y/185 by 4.

20 = 22 × 5

185 = 5 × 37
